Has anyone figure out the solution to do this?
From my understanding, parallel approval is useful when every approvers have equal level of importance and oneā€™s decision need not follow by anotherā€™s.
For example, I want to purchase a computer to host a service and need approval from financial manager, IT manager, and Ops manager. If workflow is parallel, all managers could make their decision at the same time.
One potential solution that Iā€™ve seen from other ERP is to folk and join workflow, but I couldnā€™t how to achieve that in vanilla ERPNext.

Why just donā€™t go for Custom Workflow

  1. Create a Customised Filed called workflow_state or anything suitable for you
  2. On The Field Just Add High Permission Level, Means Roles with High Permission Level can Edit That Field
  3. Write a Small Client Script That Basically adds a Custom Dropdown Button which Changes the Field Value and Updates the Doc.
  4. Trigger Email if Required.

Thank you for answer!
I am new in frappe and want to know a typical approach to solve such issues. There is workflow system implemented in frappe framework. And it is complicated and error-prone to create custom fields and client scripts instead of using built-in workflow feature.
Unfortunately, at the moment i found closed PR without any activities for a long time.
